Chapter 30: Chapter 30 Fire Burning_1
Before long, Zhu Qing ca out.
Zhang Xian looked up, and a smile couldn’t help but break out on his handso face.
He didn’t know about his own taste, but he thought Zhu Qing looked beautiful right now, in the purple dress she was wearing. Simple, yet stylish, youthful but not devoid of grace.
"Not bad!" Mu Cheng placed her left hand across her chest, the right one under her chin, and nodded approvingly.
Zhu Qing twirled in front of the mirror, laughing happily. Obviously, she was very satisfied with the dress Zhang Xian had chosen for her.
"Looks like I’ve got good taste." Zhang Xian quickly spotted a red form-fitting dress as soon as Mu Cheng affird the previous dress and he walked over to take it down.
Compared to the dress Zhu Qing was wearing, this one was undoubtedly much more mature and seductive, especially by style—this dress certainly aid for an elegant and splendid appearance.
"What are you doing?" Mu Cheng asked him with a laugh as Zhang Xian brought the dress over.
"It’s for you!" Zhang Xian replied, grinning. "If I only gave a gift to Qingqing and not you, wouldn’t it be uncomfortable for ? I’m not that dumb!"
"What do you an?" Mu Cheng was not happy. "Are you saying that you chose a dress for
just because you felt awkward about only gifting Zhu Qing?"
"No way, I must gift both of you!" Zhang Xian laughed mischievously. "Besides, don’t I still have business dealings with you? I hope Elder Sister Cheng can give
so consideration and make things easier for
in the future."
"Aren’t you afraid Qingqing will get jealous?" Mu Cheng asked with a grin.
"Jealous? Why would she be jealous?" Zhang Xian was confused. What’s their relationship? They’re not even that close of friends anyways.
"You blockhead," Mu Cheng sighed and took the dress to the fitting room, "considering how sincere you are, I’ll give it a try."
Seeing Mu Cheng not rejecting, Zhang Xian felt relieved and a bit sly. With two gifts out, didn’t this an he had secured the dicinal herbs deal?
As the saying goes, to take a gift is to give in; it would be unkind of Zhu Qing and Mu Cheng if they still made things difficult for him after accepting the gifts, wasn’t it?
Soon afterwards, Mu Cheng ca out of the fitting room.
She looked ravishing. Just by surface appearance, she was noble, elegant, alluring, and sexy; like a queen from above.
Of course, this was rely surface level. If you thought Mu Cheng was a dignified, graceful queen, you’d be totally wrong.
"Cousin, you look really beautiful," Zhu Qing voiced, eyes sparkling with admiration.
"You’re not bad either," Mu Cheng spun and smiled, "Qingqing, I must admit, guy Zhang Xian here has got good taste! I’m not even sure if I could make such choices."
Zhu Qing smirked but didn’t confirm or deny this. Whether it was her dress or her cousin’s, she thought they were both beautiful, well-fitted, and perfectly paired.
Zhang Xian looked at Zhu Qing, then at Mu Cheng, and exclaid in admiration.
These two sisters were truly top-notch, the age difference put them in two completely different categories, pleasing to the eye with their allure of youthful innocence and mature sophistication.
"Zhang Xian, we accept these dresses," Mu Cheng checked again and remarked casually with a smile.
Nodding continuously, Zhang Xian laughed heartily.
However, when he got to the checkout counter to pay, his face instantly fell. The bill for just these two dresses was over five thousand; wasn’t this a rip-off?
"Sir, sir..." Upon seeing Zhang Xian in a daze, the cashier called out a few tis.
"Erm, your clothes... are quite expensive!" Zhang Xian regained his senses and remarked with a bitter laugh.
"Hehe, our clothes are all branded, sir!" The cashier laughed back.
Swallowing hard, Zhang Xian pretended to reach into his pocket for the money while actually taking out six thousand in cash from his ring, holding the notes tightly in his hand, appearing reluctant to part ways.
"Don’t want to spend?" Mu Cheng asked, amused.
"No, how could it be umpossible?" Zhang Xian quickly shook his head.
"Hey, do you really have that much money?" Zhu Qing abruptly realized a serious problem.
Usually, she would spend no more than a couple of hundred on clothes. The sole reason she ca here today was to take advantage of her cousin. Upon recalling the price of these clothes, she suddenly beca worried.
With his usual appearance, did Zhang Xian, look like he had money? She was the one who had to pay for his crappy two-hundred dollar phone.
"Of course, I do!" Zhang Xian chuckled as he handed the money to the cashier.
Zhu Qing was rather surprised, where did this guy get all this money? He had pulled out quite a wad of cash.
"Let’s go." Zhang Xian grinned and turned to leave.
Five thousand bucks were a fair bit of money for him. But as a cultivator, he didn’t care about money; he had just never dealt with such a large consumption before.
After leaving the clothing store and walking around the street for a while, he suddenly asked with a smile, "Um, Qingqing, I want to have a talk with Elder Sister Cheng, what do you think?"
"Just go ahead. Why are you asking ?" Zhu Qing rolled her eyes at Zhang Xian.
Zhang Xian was content with her response. As long as Zhu Qing didn’t intervene, there would be no problem with the business. Those 5000 bucks were worth it!
"Little Xian Xian, you always say you want to do business with , but what kind of business do you want to do?" Mu Cheng was curious now. Zhang Xian’s intention was clear, even when shopping with two beautiful won, he didn’t forget his so-called business, he ntioned it regularly, like a workaholic, showing no interest in anything else.
"Elder Sister Cheng, didn’t you say before that you only deal with dicinal herbs? Naturally, I ca to buy herbs from you," Zhang Xian said with a smile. "However, Elder Sister Cheng, the herbs I want are rather high-end, and they are rarely sold in the market, so I have no choice but to find you. I just don’t know whether you have the herbs I need. They are quite precious and rare."
"Why do you want those precious herbs? They are expensive due to their scarcity." Mu Cheng asked curiously.
In her view, Zhang Xian was still young. Even though he had left school, he was still new to society. How could he choose such a path?
Regular herbs were fine, but the precious ones were not simple. Not only were they scarce, but they might also not sell well. If you were unlucky, you might not be able to sell them for years.
These items were treasures for those who needed them, but they were rubbish to those who didn’t, and most people couldn’t afford them.
"Well, I have my uses," Zhang Xian didn’t answer the question directly.
"I have plenty of regular herbs, but I don’t sell precious ones. Those who deal with these herbs usually have direct connections with wealthy families and don’t sell to ordinary people. Of course, if you really want so, I can get it for you, but not a lot, there is a limited quota, and I am not the only one selling herbs," Mu Cheng answered with a laugh.
"Elder Sister Cheng, can you get
so? And on a long-term basis, unless I don’t need it one day," Zhang Xian knew that it was hard to get precious herbs.
"For the sake of the clothes you bought for , I can help you out," Mu Cheng agreed with a nod.
Zhang Xian was delighted. It seed that Mu Cheng was really capable, and she could get precious herbs quite easily. However, the quantity would be limited, after all, the market worked that way.
"Little Thief, so you are hanging out here, I’ve been looking for you!"
Suddenly, a rcedes car pulled up. Ge DaBao sat in the driver’s seat and chuckled from the lowered car window.
Behind the rcedes, there was also a van. When the van stopped, a group of strong n ca out and quickly surrounded Zhang Xian, Mu Cheng, and Zhu Qing.
"What...what are you trying to do?" Zhu Qing was startled.
Mu Cheng pulled Zhu Qing behind her and stared coldly at Ge DaBao, who had just erged from the rcedes, "Ge DaBao, what is the aning of this?"
"Hehe, Chengcheng, I’m not here for you. I’m here for this little guy," Ge DaBao adjusted the cap on his head and looked at Zhang Xian, "Little Thief, I am going to be honest with you. Mu Cheng is the woman I have my eyes on. Have so sense and step aside. I’m not unreasonable. But if you insist on going against , I won’t be pleasant."
"Are you talking to ?" Zhang Xian asked.
"Damn, only you, this shrimpy kid, still have problems with . Who else can I be talking to?" Ge DaBao roared angrily.
"Ge DaBao, don’t you dare," Mu Cheng stood in front of Zhang Xian with a stern expression.
"Chengcheng, it’s none of your business. Don’t think just because I’m interested in you, you can put on airs," Gecko looked at Mu Cheng, "Of course, if you want
to let this kid go, I can manage it. I’m actually quite reasonable. Just promise to be my woman. I guarantee I won’t harm a single hair on him. In fact, I can even take him in as a subordinate."
"You..." Mu Cheng’s face turned pale with anger.
Zhang Xian hid behind Mu Cheng, let out a cold laugh, and snapped his fingers suavely.
Just then, Ge DaBao’s butt suddenly caught fire.
Upon seeing this, the minions cried out in surprise, "Boss Bao, your...your butt is on fire."
"Damn..." Ge DaBao was already feeling the pain. He jumped three feet high, yelling, "What are you standing there for? Put out the fire for !"
The minions rushed forward, furiously patting Ge DaBao’s butt until it made a popping sound. They seed to be having a great ti.
Mu Cheng and Zhu Qing both looked at Zhang Xian and gave him a thumbs-up. Zhang Xian’s magic had reached a divine level and had even beco an offensive weapon.
Look, without lifting a finger, Ge DaBao and his guys were already in a dire predicant.
"Elder Sister Cheng, Qingqing, let’s go," Zhang Xian didn’t even look at Ge DaBao, not even bothering to lift a finger.
Of course, whether he decided to take action or not depended entirely on his mood; the outco wouldn’t change much. Heck, he wouldn’t even need to lift a finger to deal with these guys effortlessly.
"Damn, Little Thief, stop right there." One of the minions saw Zhang Xian, Mu Cheng, and Qingqing trying to leave and imdiately shouted, "Dare to take another step, and we will show you how good our punches are."
Zhang Xian stopped, turned around, and grinned eerily.
Out of the blue, the butts of the minions who were extinguishing the fire on Ge DaBao started to burn as well. Imdiately, there were screams echoing down the street.
